Juniper - Thanks for changing me out of the TWW! I'm day 1 today! And not feeling too bad. Had acupuncture today, and a pedicure and a hair trial for the wedding day. So I suppose spoiling myself helped ease the pain a bit. I won't be doing any a/c this month.
Jo, yay for progress and a party of 3!! FX it continues to go well from this point on.
Nire, I'm thrilled to hear your good news! Congrats!
N2l, great news! How are you feeling?
Kerbear, FX for your cycle!
Nic, yay for the long-awaited start of your cycle! I hope tomorrow goes well. Sounds full on!
miloro, that's a tough situation. Did he say why? I'd, personally, want DH on board before proceeding, but my FS said that wasn't a requirement for doing the cycle (ie there was no consent form for DH to sign, so I could do the cycle without his involvement/consent).
Afm, had my consult with the surgeon this morning. Bl**dy DH stuffed about so we were late as usual and then yelled at me because he doesn't like being late. Go figure. I had to have more x-rays to check for fractures higher up the leg and also get some images while putting weight on my foot (ouch!!). That wasn't pleasant and I stayed true to form and puked... I was already queasy after talking to the Dr, so it was almost inevitable... Thank goodness I had skipped breakfast! The good news is the new set of x-rays showed no problems (the first set had hinted at a possible issue which had been missed by the radiologist, but the new ones showed it was fine). So, officially a high grade sprain with a 6 week to 3 month recovery. If it hasn't improved by the 3 month mark, I have to go back for a MRI and he may do surgery at that time. Since that coincides with when we may want to do IVF, he said if it hadn't improved to go back for the MRI before starting IVF (because it's contraindicated for the 1st tri). This sort of maybe leaves me in a 3 month limbo...
And, if that wasn't enough excitement, I got a +opk this afternoon! Anyone know if x-rays are safe for eggs? I'm guessing "yes" since they routinely do HSGs during TTC cycles? I figure if the egg was damaged it would just mean a BFN anyway...
N2l I am doing ivf antagonist cycle. what kind are you doing?
Miliro I am feeling much better today thanks for asking. Had a huge cry yesterday and got it out of my system.
If I was in your situation I would talk to dh more if you want to do the transfer and he doesn't to find out why he may want the break, my dh wanted us to do a cycle before his op in August which I wasn't expecting and we had to discuss it and decide together as I needed to be ready for it, maybe your dh doesn't feel up to another cycle yet cause they go through it with us and it takes a toll on both of you....just a thought I could be wrong xo
Nic - I found my questions came when I was processing what I was being told by my fs, we went to a seminar our fertility centre held that gave us heaps of info before we actually saw a fs, I found this helped to know what they were talking about before we went there. The only advice I have is if you don't understand what they are talking about ask them to explain it more so you can walk away less confused. It is a lot to take in when you first do it but after the first few I know find it much easier to know what I am doing. Good luck and ask us anything, I was always taught no question is a silly question ;-)
My turn I hope your tummy is feeling a bit better xo
Hi miloro, I'm doing better today - thanks... I'm still disappointed in having to wait until jan for next cycle however I'm certainly not alone on that one in here!
I'm sorry to hear that your DH wants to wait - if it was me in that position my relationship would have to come first but I would want a pretty good reason for waiting...
Juniper - sounds like a rough day for you but I'm glad the results were better than expected.
N2L & Kerbear - I am starting meds tomorrow too... yay! We are TOTALLY cycle buddies! Lyra - AF arrived 6 weeks 2 days after d&c for me - lots of others on BB told me theirs arrived about 5 weeks ish, so hopefully it's not too far away for you!! in the meantime look after yourself
Nic - good luck tomorrow with all the appointments - it's a bit overwhelming the first time, but if you don't ask questions it's okay, there's plenty of chances once the cycle starts. I found it helpful to just go with the flow and trust that they knew what they were doing Woo hoo for weight loss...!! (wish some of that would rub off on me!!)
Miloro - thanks sweet pea. I'd try and find out from DH why he wants to wait, as the reason would change how I deal with it. The FET is WAYYYYYYYY more relaxing and calm and you barely do anything, just keep monitoring you until you are ovulation and then bam, stick the embie in.... he might be worried about all the hormones, or the money, or something else all together. Until you know, you can't deal with it. See what he says about that and then you can tackle how you feel about it, and whether you want/need/can convince him otherwise
me4ever - glad you had a nice day today. I think spending some time to enjoy the wedding preparations and all that is a good idea. it will only happen once, and it is such a lovely time. So enjoy it! xoxo
Juniper - what a crappy place you are in at the moment! boo for limbo... yay for some good news (at least!) I hope you can try to enjoy some of the time. If you want help with the list just let us know, we can all take turns or something if you want xoxo
faye, andie, curtseygirl, treenie, Emma, Sarah, Beau, wishanddream, rosemarry, emeraldstar, Krikket, blossom and Miss B (if you are stalking, I hope you are okay) and any other stalkers I may have missed
AFM...... cramping is better today and I am feeling okay. A little cry last night when I pulled out my 'IVF Journey' journal and read some of the entries from earlier in the year... remembering the joy of finding out I was pregnant, and the deep despair when blob was gone
But I am okay today, a nice new cooler bag with my meds - much better than the previous MIVF bag, and somehow the cool new bag made my
I had a pretty good food day to, without too much trouble - AND I didn't find an excuse (although I can tell you I looked long and hard for one!!) to avoid PT this afternoon.....
So tomorrow I start Clomid - 2 tablets a day for 5 days, and the Puregon 275 once a day until my first scan on Tuesday (same as you Ker!)
I'm glad things are happening, although, not convinced it will be a BFP, I'm okay with that, and will be happy to get a couple of frosties out of it if we can
so sleep tight everyone - remember that there is no reason that the cycle you are in cannot be 'the one', I hope there are some BFP's coming our way soon xox
My turn lol we are almost the same 2 clomid tablets a day, but I am on 450 gonalf, can't believe we have our scans on the same day, maybe it will be good luck for us :-)
N2l do you have a Tuesday scan to?????
please please please please let it be good luck for all three of us!!! we have been here too long!!! (Statistically speaking this, of course, is unlikely.... so having said that, I would gladly sacrifice my BFP for N2L to get hers )
xoxo glad you are feeling a bit more chipper today... I am not really looking forward to the medication rollarcoaster... but I have put my meditations on each night so far already, and am just going to try and relax. At least an antagonist cycle is quicker - I don't envy N2L's Down Reg... feels like they take FOREVER!!
Hi girls-
My clinic rang yesterday, apparently my progesterone is elevated (4.3)
Repeat BT today showed it had gone up again....
They might cancel my cycle
Has this happened to anyone?
Wow so much has been happening in the last 2 days!
Big congratulations Nire fx for you xx
Emma - FX they don't cancel your cycle
Jo - the new follie name made me smile lol, my dad is a Fred , best of luck to you x
Juniper, I am sure no one is going to be upset if the list is late x sure you have more than enough on your plate I just hope all goes well with your recovery x
Miloro, hopefully you and DH can have a talk and work out why he wants to wait and maybe understand eachother
With so many things happening I am struggling to keep up and work out all the IVF terms (i will get there) to everyone else *hugs* and hi and
AFM - CD19 today, feeling anxious about the appointment with the new FS in December, it just feels like time passes by and all of a sudden its been 2 years Also have been feeling my tummy in the last few days and it feels wierd, maybe its my brain playing tricks but I am sure there is some bits that feel hard which I have not noticed before. I have started using the new thermometer and though it was not started on CD1 I figured I may as well start getting into the habit. I think we missed O day as we were both un well last week so was a bit bummed, though saying that if I did O then, we DTD 2 days before so well you never know. Not that I am convinced I can conceive as I have never in my life had a BFP Oh my, I just realised this turned into a little bit of a vent. I must have needed it I guess x
Thanx for the advice ladies. I guess we will just see how we go and see what questions come to mind when in there.
I already know that we will be doing a. Antagonist cycle when we do start.
As for AF showing her face, I'm not sure now. One show then gone again. Maybe it will be full on tomorrow and shows her face properly! Who friggen knows!
Thanks for the advice ladies. You all said what I was thinking. A friend advise me to just do it without telling him which sat badly for me. The reason he is saying to delay is coz I have just been offered a promotion. He has just started a new job too, which he already hates. We have the mobey saved for two FET cycles. But I think he wants to spend it on rubbish. We already delayed ttc for my career for two years, add on the two plus years of ttc...I don't want to keep putting off a family for work. At least he has given up smoking, a month with no cigarettes! I'll try talking to him again today. Wish me luck.
Nire - congrats - most be amazing to see a heart beat.
Moloro - that's fantastic news on your dh not smoking for a month. Fx he sticks to it. Hope he listens to your reasoning for wanting not to wait. My dh did quit for about a month after the dr at fs told him too but now we have 7 frozen embryos he believes his job is over so has now said he promises to quit the day I say I'm pregnant. What if that day never comes?
Jo white - I live that you have named you follicles. That's awesome news Fred has appeared.
Juniper - great news no surgery for now. Hope that sprain sorts itself out for you ASAP.
Emma - sorry to hear your your progesterone level has risen when it shouldn't. Sorry I can't help you as to why. Hopefully someone here has had similar situation & can help you.
Afm - just need to ring fs today to find out the time of my transfer tomorrow. Have been feeling ok but starting to feel anxious about it now.
Forgot to ask- those who have been on progynova have you had white discharge after a few days of use? Only noticed it last night after 5 days of taking 3 tablets of 2mg a day. I haven't noticed anything else.
Nawww Myturn, that is lovely but I hope we all get BFPs
Juniper, sorry you are still so incapacitated What sucky timing (not that there is a good time!) I hope you heal as quickly as possible
Emma, no I have not had that (as far as I know). Hopefully it's just a glitch and your cycle can continue.
Hi to everyone else!
Afm- on a drug run into the city to hand over $2500 for my first lot of extra drugs As I said in my last post, it's all systems go from today. I am on 450 of puregon and I have a scan next Friday morning. I will also have an infusion of intralipid that morning. I am so, so tired. Last night I could barely keep my eyes open. I think it's the synarel.
I had to have more x-rays to check for fractures higher up the leg and also get some images while putting weight on my foot (ouch!!). That wasn't pleasant and I stayed true to form and puked... I was already queasy after talking to the Dr, so it was almost inevitable... Thank goodness I had skipped breakfast! The good news is the new set of x-rays showed no problems (the first set had hinted at a possible issue which had been missed by the radiologist, but the new ones showed it was fine).

Since that coincides with when we may want to do IVF, he said if it hadn't improved to go back for the MRI before starting IVF (because it's contraindicated for the 1st tri). This sort of maybe leaves me in a 3 month limbo...
Woo hoo for weight loss...!! (wish some of that would rub off on me!!)
